lyrics
If he’s gonna save ya, you wanna keep him around
If she’s gonna sacrifice herself, she’s sound as a pound
But if he’s just a white knight, with words of sweetness oh
Chances are he’s faking, hiding something from you, oh
Cos being good feels good enough to me
Being blind is where I wanna be
Don’t be the guy who’s saying “look at me”
Do I have to scream and yell?
Show don’t tell!
Don’t tell me how to be good, I don’t need lessons from you
The shiny words from your mouth don’t synchronise with your truth, oh
Cos if you need a high five, for not being a douche
You made it about yourself again, so tell that fool to vamoose! Oh!
Cos being good feels good enough to me
Being blind is where I wanna be
Don’t be the guy who’s saying “look at me”
Do I have to scream and yell?
Show don’t tell!
I’m not gonna waste my time
Talking to a waste of time
If you have to explain your holiness baby
You ain’t going near my loving kind
Cos that’s not kind
Show don’t tell!
Show don’t tell!
Show don’t tell!
Every time you seek love, it’s one step closer to hell
Cos checking on your neighbour, is a reward in itself oh!
Cos no one likes a white knight, who only thinks of himself
Listen to your heart my friend, it’s saying show don’t tell
Cos being good feels good enough to me
Being blind is where I wanna be
Don’t be the guy who’s saying “look at me”
Do I have to scream and yell?
Show don’t tell!
If she’s gonna sacrifice herself, she’s sound as a pound
But if he’s just a white knight, with words of sweetness oh
Chances are he’s faking, hiding something from you, oh
Cos being good feels good enough to me
Being blind is where I wanna be
Don’t be the guy who’s saying “look at me”
Do I have to scream and yell?
Show don’t tell!
Don’t tell me how to be good, I don’t need lessons from you
The shiny words from your mouth don’t synchronise with your truth, oh
Cos if you need a high five, for not being a douche
You made it about yourself again, so tell that fool to vamoose! Oh!
Cos being good feels good enough to me
Being blind is where I wanna be
Don’t be the guy who’s saying “look at me”
Do I have to scream and yell?
Show don’t tell!
I’m not gonna waste my time
Talking to a waste of time
If you have to explain your holiness baby

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+...

The Burden of Restlessness
by King Buffalosupported by 310 fans who also own “Show Don't Tell”
Very dark and melancholic and also a progressive album. Beat and atmosphere remind me strongly of TOOL.

It's only four tracks, yes, but it's four tracks of great cosmic psychedelia. Here's my full review - https://www.7thlevelmusic.com/?p=12710

Midnight Heavyweight
by InTechnicolourBrighton, UK band leaven surging hard rock with spaced-out stoner-doom on their second LP, recorded in an old chapel on the English coast.

Italian stoner powerhouse Tenebra has the heft of Sabbath and the hooks of Saint Vitus in their powerfully imposing tunes.
